imfbarn Posted March 22, 2019 at 05:27 PM Share Posted March 22, 2019 at 05:27 PM This just in: https://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/deerfield/news/ct-dfr-assault-weapons-ban-ruling-tl-0328-story.html Judge throws out Deerfield's assault weapons banA Lake County Circuit Court judge ruled Friday that the village of Deerfield overstepped its authority last year when it enacted a ban on assault weapons five years after the Illinois legislature declared such regulations the exclusive power of the state. Judge Luis Berrones issued a permanent injunction blocking the village from enforcing its ordinance. In the ruling, Berrones wrote that the plaintiff gun owners have “a clearly ascertainable right to not be subjected to a preempted and unenforceable ordinance” that prohibits possession of assault weapons, imposes financial penalties for keeping them and allows their property to be confiscated.

tricolor Posted March 22, 2019 at 05:52 PM Author Share Posted March 22, 2019 at 05:52 PM I hope that the people of Deerfield realize that the city government's virtue signalling wasted a lot of time and taxpayer money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxtrotIndia Posted March 22, 2019 at 05:58 PM Share Posted March 22, 2019 at 05:58 PM Awesome! But what a waste of taxpayer funds. Especially since they're saying they're willing to fight it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flynn Posted March 22, 2019 at 06:04 PM Share Posted March 22, 2019 at 06:04 PM Sadly I expect the IL legislature to restore these 'regulation' powers to municipalities shortly over and above any additional regulations put on at the state level.

But what a waste of taxpayer funds. Especially since they're saying they're willing to fight it. It wasnt completely from taxpayer funds ..."We are thankful for the continued pro bono services provided by the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence and Mr. Christopher Wilson, partner of the Chicago office of Perkins Coie."...

Hap Posted March 22, 2019 at 06:56 PM Share Posted March 22, 2019 at 06:56 PM So, pro bono services provided by Perkins Coie. Also known as the conduit for the Clinton campaign's and DNC's payments for the infamous and now-discredited Steele dossier. How did our ritzy North Shore suburbs wind up in bed with these sleazebags? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That whole case was just a giant waste of money as it turns out.It puts politicians on notice and sets a precedent and state's law is gonna be struck down as Unconstitutional too.

BobPistol Posted March 23, 2019 at 01:06 AM Share Posted March 23, 2019 at 01:06 AM Awesome! But what a waste of taxpayer funds. Especially since they're saying they're willing to fight it. I bet the town hired a local lawyer (crony of the politicians) who was enriched properly for this. This is why unconstitutional laws are passed - to enrich crony lawyers.

If they had won, it would not be pro-bono as they'd file for attorneys fee awards. Cronies must be enriched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
